Yea Litecoin sucks. The only thing they did was implement segwit before bitcoin which essentially turned them into a test place for bitcoin. Ive been futures trading a lot with leverage so pretty much up at night anytime we have a move. Little sleep the last few weeks. ---

I was hoping for a dip but damn it kept going up last night. Should I just buy some now. I linked my bank account. How fast do transaction happen? I probably can’t trade it fast enough to make money and buy it back before it goes up again. - - - Updated - - - Should I transfer money from my bank account to the wallet and then buy BTC or just buy it directly from my bank account? ---

If you buy on coinbase the transaction takes 5-7 days to show up in your account but you buy at current price ---

Lol at this rate we’ll be in 90k territory by jan. Here’s what I find amazing and fun (and lost potential learning it) is how IOTA keeps growing with bitcoin. As bitcoin grows, iota keeps going through ups and downs but going strong $3-$5. As soon as bitcoin stops growing, IOTA starts going to $4 but the neat thing is that it costs less and less in BTC while each “token” struggling to keep at the $3-$5 mark. If you do the math ( I haven’t yet) if Bitcoin stopped for a few days a few days ago, IOTA would be at least $10. Whether that will continue is another story. I) Edit: it took me some time (and money) to get understand the live data I am seeing over the past few days. Basically as you sell at one price point in btc, at the rate it is going, eventually it HAS to dip(1-4 hours) below what your lower buy price is. This way you end up gaining tokens , and if say bitcoin stops for a day or two and IOTA starts growing again you are really winning. Before anybody talks about the risk, I am well aware 😉 Edit:2 Now I feel dumb again…in the process you are losing actual BTC , and can only get back all of it if in the future IOTA surges back to the same share per btc. In which case it is just best then to just keep buying small amounts at the lowest btc/dollar ratio and if then it surges back to say 1/250 price of btc, THEN you win bigly. Sorry guys I am learning as I go 😃 ---

> [@LZ](#): > > If you buy on coinbase the transaction takes 5-7 days to show up in your account but you buy at current price So I bought some litecoin and I’m waiting a little bit on the BTC hoping it comes down a little bit. I have a feeling it’s just gonna keep going up. ---

Hahahahaha i finally got it! I dont give a shit about iota tokens because i am trading to earn bitcoin using iota as a tool. You guys must think im stupid 😃 Even with $150+ as seed try it. As you track on the upswing by 50 at a time and sell 50 at a time .0000100-200 over that translates to about $8 each time this on binance. With good timing you can make quite a bit / hr. This is better than Runescape trading rofl ---
